Question 1

son had a high circumcision and looks like frenulum is missing? mogen clamp. very concerned he will lose lots of sensation when he is older.

Accepted Answer

Circ: Odds are he'll be just fine.  There are plenty of sensory nerves in the penis.  "loss" of sensation implies a change, but he won't have anything to compare it to.  This concept is really about adult circumcision.

Question 2

how can i tell if too much skin was taken off my son during his circumcision? the circ scar is halway down his shaft. he was done with the mogen clamp

Accepted Answer

Ask for a referral : To a urologist if  you're concerned about the appearance. The mogen's been around since 1954. There were some issues about damage to the glans penis because it doesn't allow visualization, but not about over-stretching the foreskin. As long as it doesn't cause a painful erection & the anatomy of the genitalia is normal, i can't think how it can hurt him. I'd like to know what you find out.

Question 3

where should the scar line be on my sons penis after circumcision? also the scar is "v" shaped on the bottom of his penis. mogen clamp was used.

Accepted Answer

Common after Mogen: Scar line after a mogen clamp circumcision tends to be further torards base of penis than after gomco clamp, plastibell or "sleeve resection" circumcision. Should not be a problem unless penis curves downward with erection. Can be corrected by penoplasty if too much skin was removed. Fortunately this is rarely case. Consult pediatric urologist if u r still concerned.

Question 4

my son was born in may and i had him circumcised at the hospital.  his circumcision was done with a mogen clamp.  i'm not sure if enough skin was take?

Accepted Answer

Circumcision: Think of it this way, as we are removing the foreskin with the Mogen Clamp, we have to pick where we are going to make the incision, right?  We can take off "not enough" skin or we can take off "too much" skin, depending on your perspective. Most babies now with this procedure have a little bit of foreskin left at the base, as you mention.  Enjoy your baby!

Question 5

why does infant circumcision with mogen clamp leave more inner foreskin than other methods? also does scar halfway down penis mean aggressive circ?

Accepted Answer

Yes ; possibly yes: Mogen clamp leaves more inner foreskin  because technique requires pulling freed foreskin over glans penis ; applying clamp beyond tip f glans thus avoiding glans injury. Thus length of inner foreskin remaining is marginally longer than length of baby's glans. Scar halfway down penis could mean that excess outer shaft skin was removed at circumcision, which circumcision technique  was used.

Question 6

my son was circumcised with mogen clamp. his glans is covered exept for a little bit at the tip, just enough for him to pee. is this still normal?

Accepted Answer

Need a picture: to judge, at any rate under-  is better than over-correction, if in doubt ask a urologist to have a look, so long he is passing urine, no urgency, you can observe

Question 7

can a circumcision be done wrong?

Accepted Answer

Definitely: As with any surgical procedure, things can always go wrong such as bleeding, infection, scarring, etc. Even if the procedure is done perfectly, there are patient medical conditions that may not allow optimal wound healing such as the ones listed above.

Question 8

how common is adult circumcision?

Accepted Answer

Adult Circumcision: I am assuming you are speaking about male circumcision.

This is not common but there are some rare conditions such as scarred foreskin and other reasons for this procedure to be offered to adult men.

But, there is a large movement growing in places where HIV infections are high because those men who are circumcised do not contract HIV as easily as those men who are not circumcised.

Question 9

can a circumcision hurt as an adult?

Accepted Answer

Not with anesthesia: Not if patient is asleep & few hours after if local anesthetic injected into base of penis before he wakes. Painless during if done unedr local anesthesia (la), minor pinprick pain from la needle, less if Emla (lidocaine and prilocaine) cream applied 1/2 hour before. Coban bandaage post-op prevents swelling & minimizes pain. Pain killers post-op recommended. Some prescribe Ativan to reduce painful post-op erections.

Question 10

what amount does re-circumcision cost?

Accepted Answer

Varies by Dr &amp; State: Look up urologists in Yellow Pages &amp; call their offices to find out. Remenber most circumcisions are performed under general anesthesia &amp; in a hospital or surgicenter, both will charge. You might find a urologist who will perform a circumcision in an office procedure room under local anesthetic. That would be the cheapest. $300.00 is a fair charge for a newborn circ. in the office.
